Is it being a class traitor though? Maybe she just realizes that her dollars are worth more than rubles for a reason, a reason that is very much now in question.

If anyone should support the rule of law, it's the billionaires. We should all be on the same side against fascism.

So I've been going on and on about how "democrats bad" is a huge narrative being pushed hard on Lemmy. Always with the caveat that criticism is warranted, when it's specific and targeted.

This is specific and targeted. This is how you properly criticize Dems. But that wouldn't jive with the people seeding that other narrative. They don't want to be helpful. They're not interested in how to get other people to vote. Their objective is the opposite.

Maybe the Dems should switch their incremental improvement to the fact that they need billionaires to buy them votes before their dollars turn into rubles. Yeah, the number is bigger. Look how much good that does the Russians.

They should be supporting both Elon-style directly, and indirectly through accepting tax policy to allow us to do big things. Find smart policies to support medical school so that we can push for more doctors/nurses the way we did for Software Devs from 1995-2015. Create actual medicare for all to finally get rid of the odd tie between your employer and your healthcare. Support real freight so we can have fewer semis destroying our roads and creating traffic. Support mass transit so we need fewer roads and can have more walkable spaces with more available housing. (Mass transit enables realistic high density housing.) Change Trump's stupid ass tariffs to be a response to climate change, now that we've developed better tech to see where the CO2 is coming from.

Raise the federal minimum wage. Reduce the work week to 36 hours, with real teeth in overtime requirements and salary exemptions. Recreate the Civilian Conservation Corps to make sure everyone who's willing to put in real work can find a job, even if AI doesn't like their resume.

Healthcare, traffic, and work are the biggest things everyone in the country has to deal with. Address the things that actually affect people's lives. This is how your dollars stay dollars instead of turning into rubles. The billionaires might have less of them, but they're worth more. When people are less desperate, everyone's lives are better.

Straight up cash to help buy your first house. I wasn't thrilled about it.

She of course has to say it anyway, even if she knows it's obvious.

Less lethal. That terminology is important.

We lost abortion under Trump. Trying to blame Biden for that is ridiculous.

It was based on supreme court nominations.

It's not far off. They're absolutely trying to kill all of Gaza at once. There's a reason they're repeatedly attacking anyone who brings food, including World Central Kitchen.

You're aware of the food traps, right?

They absolutely will not allow Greta to bring aid to Gaza. They'd kill her if the PR wasn't so bad.

Unlike a lot of the Gaza sympathizers, I do not excuse Oct 7th. It was an attack on Israel. It was not justified. Israel has a right to defend itself.

This isn't defense. This is genocide. They're trying to solve the problem permanently by killing nearly every last one of them. It's a Final Solution.

Even if that is your opinion, why share it? What value does that provide to anyone, including yourself.

Shitting on things for no reason stopped being popular after the 90s.

I can't wait to be the United Coca-Cola States of Unilever America.

Ublock Origin + Firefox

YouTube started detecting and complaining about that yesterday (for me).

It's almost like there's an agenda on Lemmy to sabotage the next election.

You could just as easily learn the opposite.

Whose Crimean bridge?

... or have a bit of empathy and talk to the teacher like a human.

I don't remember all of them, but I still check on Mahmoud regularly. I can't do much about it, but I haven't forgotten that he's been sitting there for months without committing a crime.

Reminds me of the old mp3 player days before the iPod came in and dominated that market.

Draft legislation that only applies in Europe/EU

Have we though? This headline is "Spain aims to".

Insane. Just get a bidet. You can get one that just screws on under your toilet seat.

Firefox. Because using even a slightly sketchy browser for shit like banking logins is insane.
